driftinghawk66, welcome 👋 😘

Daniel Robinson6 😘 ...somewhere out there, your little one is waiting for you

A negative result might be a false negative, but you'll never have to worry about a false positive.

I’ve heard from people who get a negative on an M test even six days after their period was supposed to start, only to see a positive just a few days later... It's totally possible that ovulation just happened later than expected, meaning there isn't enough hCG in your system yet for the test to pick up.

This whole "withdrawal method" thing isn't some kind of actual protection against pregnancy... and let's be real, nature is tricky—pregnancy symptoms and PMS feel almost identical, so you won't know for sure until you go out and buy a test...

Congrats 😘 🙂

Well, maybe the absence of PMS symptoms is actually a sign... let's stay optimistic. 😘

So, do we say congratulations... or what? :9

I don't think so... because the test measures the actual level of hCG in your urine, which is present in pregnant women regardless of what kind of pills you're taking....

I used to deal with that pain myself, but honestly, stretching exercises and sleeping with a pillow between your knees makes all the difference... I haven't felt it in ages.

CNN reports:
This is absolutely gut-wrenching... A friend of mine actually had the nerve to tell me, "It’s not *that* bad, it was only 20 days." 😲 Are you kidding me? It's devastating! Even if it were just one single day, I still couldn't wrap my head around the pain... 🙂

A loss like that is always traumatic... maybe for some people it isn't, but then again, maybe they've just never lived through something like this and have no clue what it feels like.

😘 😘 🙂

When a pregnancy ends spontaneously like that, people tend to assume the baby wasn't "healthy" and that nature was just stepping in to reset the system...

How do you even move forward from that?

I haven't personally gone through something like this, but if you need to, please just give yourself the space to heal, to process it, and to accept what happened... and then, when you're ready, try again...😘

alex 😘 🙂

If you're dealing with dizziness, try taking some effervescent iron supplements... I went through the same thing for a few days... felt like I was about to pass out...

super 😘

I'm pretty sure there's an Eljuga medical clinic somewhere 🤔

I know that feeling all too well... I’m 33 weeks along myself, but looking back at my very first posts, I sound just like you...🙂
Even though I was absolutely over the moon about being pregnant, I was also terrified and had a million different questions and uncertainties swirling around in my head... but you have time. Just take it slow and you'll figure everything out eventually..

If there's anything specific on your mind, just ask... that's exactly why we're all here.😘

You could probably get the scan done sooner... though they might not schedule you for an ultrasound right away.
Give him a call, lay out the whole situation, and just see what he says...

I’m planning on heading over to the Vineyard, but I have no clue which of them handles private appointments....

Then you’ll probably get your order in about two or three weeks... because nothing is going to show up before then, and I wouldn't want you getting unnecessarily worked up over it....

HERE, just plug in your last period date (LMP) and you can see your estimated due date and exactly which week you're in currently.....

Just keep doing what you were doing before you got pregnant... just don't overdo it. If you're working out, keep your heart rate under 140. Once your bump starts getting in the way, you can sleep on it. Try to load up on fruits and veggies, and you can start taking folic acid. Don't go lifting anything heavy—keep it under 10 or 15 pounds max. And if you feel like napping, just nap... that was a lifesaver for me. Drink plenty of water, too. For nausea, crackers usually help (keep a box by your bed and grab one before you even get up), oranges, or milk... eventually, you'll figure out exactly what your body is craving.
